In a certain secret room, a certain young boy was having a secret meeting with a certain someone."Excuse me. Here's today's report."
"Glad to have you, Celestine. Proceed with today's briefing."
"Understood. Eden's course of action today was to acquire armor, so we hastily participated in a single auction today."
"Single auction? Ah, so they used that QP I guess?"
"Yes. Eden purchased a total of three armor sets from the production guild. It's just......"
"Hmm? What's the matter? Is that something hard to say?"
"Yes. Actually, <100% Superior Apple Juice> had been put up for bid in the surprise item list."
"What!!? What in tarnation, how could it happen when I made sure I would be informed once the listing is confirmed...... Have you investigated who purchased it? I must negotiate as soon as possible."
"That's well, the buyer was <Eden>."
"......Huh?"
"To be more precise, Eden purchased it under the order of Her Highness Lana."
"W-What!? Is it true!?"
"Yes. Her Highness Lana also participated in today's single auction with Eden."
"Phew. I see. Well, Lana is strangely fond of it ever since I know, after all, I am surprised she managed to get one in her possession even though it should have been a rare item. But a surprise item huh, so that's why. I would have get the information if it would have been put up as a normal item, and I could have bought and send it to her."
"Getting into the good side of Her Highness is also a monumental task."
"Haha. You're finally picking up on it too huh, Celestine. Well she just likes that juice that much. In the usual case, I should have been sending more of it to her. Speaking of, did she finish the juice I gave her as a gift before?"
"Yes. That was used in the last two victory celebrations."
"I see. Was Lana happy?"
"Absolutely. Her Highness was very grateful."
"I see, I am glad then...... Cough. Anything else to report?" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NovᴇlFɪre .ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
"Nothing much, except it's about the budget I used to purchase the juice at auction......"
"Ahh, just use it from the budget I provided. Normally, I would have brought it and then given it to her as a gift, it would have improved our relationship. But it's a pity. Well the least I can do is to inform her from where that money comes from, I am leaving that part to you, Celestine, got it?"
"Understood. I will make sure of it."
"It would be better if this will make Lana forgive me."
